We extend the existing work on the time-optimal control of the basic SIR epidemic model with mass action contact rate. Previous results have focused on minimizing an objective function that is a linear combination of the cost associated with using control and either the outbreak size or the infectious burden. We instead, provide analytic solutions for the control that minimizes the outbreak siz...

We describe a simple but effective method for cross-lingual syntactic transfer of dependency parsers, in the scenario where a large amount of translation data is not available. The method makes use of three steps: 1) a method for deriving cross-lingual word clusters, that can then be used in a multilingual parser; 2) a method for transferring lexical information from a target language to source...

This paper describes a bootstrapping algorithm for acquiring a lexicon of subjective adjectives which minimizes the recourse to external resources (such as lexical databases, parsers, manual annotation work). The method only employs a corpus tagged with part-ofspeech information and a seed set of subjective adjectives. The list of candidate subjective adjectives is generated incrementally by lo...

The present paper brings out a mathematical model of Ammensal-enemy both immigrated species pair with limited resources. This model is built by a couple of first order non-linear ordinary differential equations. One and only one equilibrium point of this model is traced and the stability criteria at this equilibrium point are derived. Solutions for the linearized perturbed equations are ascerta...

Over the last 30 years or so many results have appeared on the descriptional complexity of machines with limited resources. Since these results have appeared in a variety of different contexts, our goal here is to provide a survey of these results. Particular emphasis is put on limiting resources (e.g., nondeterminism, ambiguity, lookahead, etc.) for various types of finite state machines, push...
